Vice President of Chicago Flips Red and 2027 Chicago mayoral candidate Danielle Carter-Walters walks through 61st Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and points out what many Chicagoans can see with their own eyes. Chicago taxpayers deserve answers. For decades, billions of dollars have flowed through Chicago’s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) program with promises of neighborhood investment, economic development, affordable housing, infrastructure improvements, and job creation. Yet, as you walk through this community, a simple question remains: Where did the TIF money go? This neighborhood has voted overwhelmingly Democratic for decades. Residents deserve to see tangible results from the public dollars that were intended to strengthen their community—not just campaign promises every election cycle. Vacant lots. Aging infrastructure. Struggling commercial corridors. Longtime residents continue asking when the promised investment will reach their blocks. TIF dollars are generated from increased property tax revenue within designated districts. Taxpayers deserve to know how those funds have been allocated, which projects received funding, what benchmarks were established, and whether those investments produced the results that were promised. Chicago deserves transparency. Communities deserve accountability. Taxpayers deserve answers.

On February 2, our comrade Joe Herosy attended a meeting of the Quincy city council and spoke out in the interests of renters and longtime city residents against rising housing costs. This was the first city council meeting in years with an open forum for residents to speak. Last year, a slate of liberal candidates swept the city council elections on an anti-corruption platform critical of seven-term mayor Tom Koch and his cronies on the council, who voted to raise his and their own salaries by 79% in 2024. 20 years ago, the average two-bedroom apartment in Quincy went for $1,250 a month. Today, that same apartment would cost a couple over $2,600 a month. Home prices have more than doubled. Meanwhile, median income has increased just 14% since 2010. During the same time, Quincy city government has given tax breaks and subsidies to developers and holding companies that displace longtime residents with highly-paid professionals and turn homes into expensive financial assets. We Communists say that houses are for people to live in, not for landlords and conglomerates to get rich off of. Comrade Joe proposed the formation of a tribune of the people, a citizens’ commission made up of working-class residents themselves, to collect resident grievances and develop solutions. If the new city council is interested in a government that defends the people of Quincy from corrupt, private interests, it’s up to them to listen to the people’s needs and deliver for them.
